BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Upon reflection, former Buffalo Sabres owner Tom Golisano is pleased knowing the public stink he raised over hits to the head have played a role in cleaning up the NHL game nearly a decade later.

That it took so long for the league to take action is another matter.

"I do have a feeling of vindication," Golisano told The Associated Press on Wednesday. "I feel real good about it. I feel it's a contribution that at least I helped with."
